Founded by Jack Faulk and Richard Thomas in 1977, Bojangle's serves Cajun-style chicken, buttermilk biscuits and other favorites to customers throughout the southeastern United States. Today the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company, which also has restaurants in Honduras and Jamaica, offers a menu that includes chicken, biscuits, rice, french fries and sandwiches. Bojangle's locations also serve breakfast.The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Bojangles Restaurant ranges from $1,519,600 to $2,512,500 for a traditional, free-standing Bojangles Restaurant and from $414,155 to $1,284,700 for a Bojangles Express Restaurant developed as part of another retail operation. This includes $25,000 for each traditional Bojangles Restaurant and $15,000 for each Bojangles Express Restaurant that must be paid to the franchisor. If you sign a Development Agreement to develop multiple Bojangles Restaurants you must pay a development fee in the amount of $5,000 for each Restaurant that you commit to develop, which will be credited against the franchise fee that you pay for each Restaurant that you develop. The franchisor individually negotiates the number of Restaurants that you may develop under each Development Agreement. These estimates do not include the cost of acquiring real estate.    #49 in Franchise 500 for 2020.#106 in Franchise 500 for 2021.
